I heard many talks in meetings about how a wife was supposed to honor and be accountable to her husband and his "priesthood," (at which point, my late husband would elbow me, which made me very angry). Inevitably, the next part of the talk (we didn't call them sermons) would be about the husband being accountable to the Lord, and guess who got elbowed?
